A case of paraplegia that developed 6 years after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for blunt traumatic aortic injury

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) offers lower rates of mortality and complications than open surgical repair, and is becoming the standard therapy. We encountered a case of paraplegia occurring 6 years after TEVAR for BTAI. Although TEVAR for BTAI is an effective treatment that is gaining popularity, long-term follow-up appears warranted.
